The earth rotates once per day about an axis passing through the north and south poles, an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the equator. Assuming the earth is a sphere with a radius of 6.38×106 m, determine the speed and centripetal acceleration of a person situated (a) at the equator and (b) at a latitude of 62.0∘ north of the equator. (a) v = Units ac = Units (b) v = Units ac = Units

(a) The fishing pole in the figure below makes an angle of 20.0∘ with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F→ = 110 N at an angle 37.0∘ below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point L = 2.10 m from the angler's hands. (Enter the magnitude in N⋅m, accurate to at least the nearest integer. ) (i) (b) What If? To reel in the fish, the angler now pulls back on the fishing rod, increasing the angle it makes with the horizontal to 39.5∘. If the fish still applies the same force in the same direction, what is the increase in the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand? (Enter the magnitude in N⋅m.) N⋅m

Multiple-Concept Example 7 deals with the concepts that are important in this problem. A penny is placed at the outer edge of a disk (radius = 0.159 m) that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center. The period of the rotation is 1.90 s). Find the minimum coefficient of friction necessary to allow the penny to rotate along with the disk. μs = Number Units

A uniform stick of length l and mass m is held horizontally. At t = 0 it is released. At the same time, a sharp upward blow by a force of magnitude F and direction perpendicular to the stick is applied at a distance d from the center for a duration Δt. The stick flies up into the air and falls back under gravity. Determine the distance d such that when the center of the stick falls back to the same height it started with, the stick will have rotated exactly once. Assume that the force F is much larger than the force of gravity during the time the impulse is applied, and that Δt is very small in comparison to the time the stick is in the air. The stick has a moment of inertia about an axis passing through the center of mass given by ICM = 1 12 ml2. Express you answer in terms of some or all of the following: pi for π, g, l, m, F and Deltat for Δt. d =
